Yesterday, I went to two kickboxing classes, I ran while on campus, and the only meal I had/made time for was breakfast. That was very, very stupid. This resulted in my running, kneeing, punching, push-kicking, etc., "-ings" (and consequently being kneed/punched/push-kicked, etc., etc.) twice as much as normal with not near enough calories to help me rejuvenate over-night with what little sleep I got ... All of this made me very bruised and tired this morning, and I was not at all on my game.
My list of things that needed to get done today:
1. Discuss essay workshops
2. Go over the general issue people had (i.e. summarizing rhetorical moves instead of analyzing how they work)
3. Get them signed up for conferences
4. Vote on moving final due date back a week
5. Open discussion of the reading
What actually got done:
Numbers 1-5
What was done "well":
1-4
They took part in conversation, which was fantastic, because they picked up on the energy that I didn't have, and really took over class. FABULOUS. Did it go where I wanted it to go? ... not really. What we ended up talking about today was sort of a tie-back to what we'd discussed earlier in the quarter, but I guess that's kind of great in a way. It shows that they were paying attention then, and that they're still thinking about it. I love that. Even though we didn't do exactly what I wanted. It's still a win.
I agree: still a win!
